Learn all about analog photography and create stunning pictures with the Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit from the Maker Shed. This kit offers the perfect balance between novelty, functionality and nostalgia. Two vertically arranged lenses, one for the viewfinder and one for the actual photograph, give this camera a unique appearance. To use, simply assemble the kit then hold the camera against your chest and look down from the top to set the viewfinder. The unique lens setup allows you to take fantastic vertical angle pictures. Uses standard 35mm film.










I’ve got a Flickr group dedicated to Gakken kits, it features loads of photos from this fine TLR camera:

If you are looking for a nice and easy to assemble camera kit this would be it.
Is there a version out there somewhere that does 120?

I love my Gakken TLR camera. It was great fun to build and it’s fun and ‘retro’ to use.
